Is Intel really going to **** us over because bulldozer was a flop? Due to power consumption, I'll probably have to pass on bulldozer (wanted a good folder/game server rig)... I was thinking I'd just wait to see what SNB-E has to offer (10 days away supposedly) and go with either that or the 2600/2700k... but if Intel wants to screw us on pricing again, I might just have to go BD for my original reason: as a protest against intel's rip-off pricing (to be clear, current SNB is the best pricing I've seen from intel in years).

Reason: Better link for pricing article

Yeah... I would have bought slower bulldozer if it wasn't at the cost of more energy consumption :( and I wouldn't be surprised to see intel adopt these prices as BD was a flop and they are close to the X58 platform pricing for chippies.
